Flounder
Flounder fishing near Bridgeport, Washington, offers a unique saltwater angling experience in the Puget Sound. While not as famous as salmon, the area holds good populations of various flounder species, including Starry Flounder and English Sole. The best time to target them is from late spring through early fall when the water warms up. Focus your efforts on sandy or muddy bottom areas in bays and estuaries. A productive technique is drifting slowly with a bottom rig baited with sand shrimp, clams, or small pieces of squid. Access points can be found at various public beaches and boat launches around the Puget Sound. Be aware of the strong tidal currents in the area, as they can significantly affect your drift. A local tip is to use a slightly heavier weight than you think you need to keep your bait on the bottom in these currents. Flounder in this region are generally of decent size, providing a good meal. Remember to check the WDFW regulations for size and bag limits before you head out.
